Compressed Asbestos Fiber Gasket Sheet
A flat sheet made from compressed asbestos fibers designed for use in sealing pipe flanges and machinery joints. It falls under HTS 6812.99.20.00 as it is specifically compressed asbestos fiber jointing in sheet form, used for industrial sealing applications. The material provides high temperature and pressure resistance typical of asbestos-based products.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If when cut to specific gasket shapes for finished use
Pre-cut or fabricated gaskets are classified as finished articles of rubber or other materials in Chapter 84, not as raw jointing sheets.
If made primarily from asbestos-cement mixtures
Asbestos-cement friction materials or articles fall under heading 6813, differing from pure fiber jointing.
If substituted with non-asbestos polymer-based fibers
Synthetic fiber sheets for gaskets are classified in Chapter 39 as other plastics plates, sheets, or strips.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify compliance with EPA and local asbestos import restrictions, as many countries ban or heavily regulate asbestos products
• Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) and certificates of analysis confirming asbestos content to avoid customs delays
